You guys remember Killer Instinct, right? You know, Cinder? Glacius? Well it looks like Rare might be coming out of the dark with an Xbox 360 edition. At least that's what the UK gaming magazine Games TM is saying. If this happens to be true, this could be a great move for Rare.
Rare hasn't exactly had the best lineup so far, starting the 360 out with Kameo: Elements of Power and Perfect Dark Zero. They have been getting better though with the newly released Viva Pinata and a new Killer Instinct game can only help them that much more. The premise of a next-gen Killer Instinct is very tempting and the "wow factor" alone would sell a great deal of copies. This is going to stay in the rumor stage until we hear something concrete from Rare. Also, Orchid is hot.

And yeah, Killer Instinct was pretty fun. Of course, it has some learning disabilities when compared to other 2D and 3D fighers; not the most technical of the bunch. But fun! And stupid! And fun!
Killer Instinct was great because you could do kick ass moves without TOO much effort.
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
I'll be damned if I can come up with anything though. :-/
Anyways, I was excited to learn that Killer Instinct is possibly in the works, and I can't wait to get an official statement from them to prove the rumor true
I got it from the RSS feed of the digg upcoming Gaming News, which linked to that article.
I have you on RSS now though!
The horrible graphics where characters look like they were sprayed with Armor All. Forgettable, bland characters (Jago, Orchid, TJ Combo?! Bah!). Sissy synth pop and gay club dance for music. Gimmicky fatalities copied from Mortal Kombat...
Ive been a fan of fighting games for over 10 years and still everytime I hear about this game I vomit a little in my mouth. We dont need this.
Nobody could beat my Orchid. My Orchid game was so solid it wasn't funny. I was an impenetrable fortress of awesome combos and breakers.
I remember going to the arcade the weekend after I rented and played someone and he lost then quickly disposed of the computer, finished with the machine gun head and my brother said he whipped around when he heard the noise in shock....oo great times!
My favorite fighting games of all time is coming back, now I actually need to get a 360. That is, assuming Rare doesn't pull a Perfect Dark and shit on another great legacy with a second-rate game.
If this turns out to be true, then we're going to finally hear the phrase "Ultraaaa....Ultraaaa...Ultraaaa..Ultraaaa". There really is no better sound...well, except for the words "I just came back from the doctor and I'm not pregnant."
didn't you hear? Killer Instinct for the 360 is going to be reimagined in to a 3rd person RPG(shooter)! Play as Jago, B. Orchid, or T.J. Combo and fight thru 10 levels against hordes of Cinders, Glacius', Riptors, Spinals, and Saberwulfs. Includes boss fights with Fulgore, Chief Thunder, Eyedol, and Gargos!
How you like them apples?

There'd be no point in releasing Killer Instinct for PS3 and then the Wii. It's like taking Oblivion and putting it on the Wii, it just won't happen.
